The auction proceeds are used by the County Central Committee to support Republican candidates in the upcoming general election. Several candidates for county wide office will also appear, in cluding Slazmo Guezemeyer III, a candidate for precinct commit teeman with a keen wit for what’s right and wrong about Republican politics.

The article "Boardman faces changes, challenges" is about the saddest example of journalism I have seen. Mr. Baker, you saw and wrote about what Mr. Her nandez and Mr. Barbarrossa wanted you to see, not what is ac tually West Glen. Yes, we have a few homes that could do with a major cleanup and the Morrow County Zoning Commission is working with a West Glen residents committee to handle those problems. May I remind you Mr. Baker that you had to drive past seven clean and land scaped homes (Caucasian homes) to reach the Sauza home (Rancho). Mr. Sauza is my next door neighbor. A good Hispanic American taxpayer whom I feel all three of you used. This is very sad and makes me very angry. We all try to live together as neighbors and your article will do nothing but cause animosity bet ween the whites and Hispanics, who up to this point have work ed together to make West Glen a nice place to live. Because of your article, Mr. Sauza will probably be in trouble with the zoning commission ie: ‘West Glen Community Center” as we are not zoned for that. Emelio (as I know Mr. Sauza) helps with local Hispanic parties, but they are seldom held at his home. He had two parties last year, a Quinceneras for his daughter and an end of the harvest party. I know. I attended both. Like I said, we are good neighbors. This is a far cry from a community center. I also think maybe you ought to go back to school and learn how to count. I drove around West Glen and counted 11 Hispanic neighbors and 23 white neighbors. My count may be off one way or the other by one or two as I know few people on the east end. Your article stated “ He (Mr. Sauza) is of of about 100 former Mexicans (former?) who live in 16 West Glen homes beyond the pavement, down a rutted road, outside Boardman’s city limits.” We choose to have rutted roads because the county wants to charge us to put paved ones in and if we did put them in, we would have nothing but a residential race track. Mr. Hernandez also makes the statement “ Ten years ago, there weren’t any Hispanics here (Boardman) at all. Then, boom, they’re everywhere.” I don’t know what Boardman he lived in 10 years ago, but I have lived here 17 years and I had Hispanic neighbors then. A lot of them were illegal but they were here. I babysat in my home in those days and my best customers and most enjoyable children were Hispanic. The idea behind La Causa is wonderful and way past its time. The Hispanic population in Boardman are American citizens and need to know the laws and how to vote and have affordable housing for those in need. So do the Caucasians who are in need of help. Times are tough for everyone right now, my own hus band is currently unemployed. Countdown to V-day! COOKIE SHEETS NEW DESIGN!

The kind of statements made in this article are not only inaccurate but irresponsible. I suggest you come back and take a second look at our little community and talk to more of us instead of Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Barbarossa.
